Open OpportunitiesThe Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab is a pioneering research hub within the Architecture and Building Systems Group at ETH Zurich. The lab is the first of its kind on the Hönggerberg campus, dedicated to advancing low-carbon building systems, components testing, and climate simulations.
As part of a short-term maintenance project, we are seeking a motivated student assistant to help reconstruct our state-of-the-art LED Solar Simulator (artificial sun). This unique facility simulates sunlight by providing parallel light that provides 1.2 KW/m², surrounded by an artificial global climatic test chamber that can replicate various climatic and geographical conditions.

| Robotic automation represents mankind’s next leap. While the industry has already embraced robotization, robot driven domestic aid is only at the beginning of the revolution. Dealing with unconstrained daily environments is more challenging than automating manufacturing production lines. The growing diffusion of semi-autonomous assistive quadrupedal robots that can handle obstacles triggered the change. Nonetheless, robot control still requires active human supervision, which can be tedious in ordinary surroundings or even impossible in clinical circumstances. - Electrical Engineering

| Buildings in Switzerland account for 42% of total energy use and 26% of CO2 emissions, with heating making up 68% of this consumption. Our semester thesis focuses on reducing heating energy while maintaining tenant comfort by optimizing heating curves using Contextual Bayesian Optimization. Heating curves define the relationship between outdoor temperature and heating power, and we adjust these parameters to minimize energy use while ensuring comfort.
We optimize a 2-point linear heating curve, incorporating contextual information like temperature, and iteratively refine parameters through simulation. Our approach emphasizes simplicity and accessibility, but the complexity of adaptive systems can hinder transparency, which we address by developing an interactive interface. This interface visualizes comfort and energy trade-offs, highlights "safe" parameter regions, and allows users to adjust heating curves interactively.
Our research explores the most effective heating curve parameterizations, enhancing system transparency and usability to promote broader adoption of energy-efficient heating solutions. - Building Science and Techniques, Optimisation, Simulation and Modelling

| Fracture healing is a complex process that involves inflammation, angiogenesis, and bone remodeling. The remodelling process helps maintain bone density, repair micro-damage that occurs due to everyday activities, and adapt bones to the specific needs of an individual's body. Mechanical loading is a crucial factor in the regulation of fracture healing. The forces and strains experienced by the bone during everyday activities influence the cellular responses, callus formation, bone deposition, remodelling, and, ultimately, the successful recovery of the fractured bone. The mechanisms underlying spatial cell reorganization during loading, which contributes to fracture healing, remain unclear. The project aims to investigate and explore the fracture healing process of mice using spatial transcriptome changes in response to mechanical loading. By shedding light on this aspect, the project aims to contribute to the broader understanding of fracture healing and potentially pave the way for more effective treatment strategies in the future. - Biological Mathematics, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences, Physics

| This project aims to systematically explore how "context" can be conceptualized and used to model outcomes in clinical research. This project focuses on analyzing the StudentLife dataset to explore how capturing contextual data can reduce variation in key outcome measures, such as the PHQ-9 (a measure of depression). The project aims to model how contextual covariates can explain variation over time, particularly during periods of increasing stress, such as a college semester. The findings will contribute to a viewpoint paper and a detailed analysis of the impact of contextual data on reducing trial sizes in research. - Health Information Systems (incl. Surveillance)
